Hey Montgomery County, it's time to shake off those winter cobwebs and spring into some creative fun with the family. Pennypacker Mills is rolling out the craft paper and popping the glitter for a spring craft workshop that's tailor-made for your little artists. This event is slated for next Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

According to details posted by Montgomery County's official site, Pennypacker Mills is hosting a drop-in workshop at the Classroom Building, and, it's designed expressly for grade schoolers. They'll be equipped with all the materials they need, and can make several themed crafts at their pace, with or without the hovering parental units. While folks can just show up, pre-registration is a solid move to ensure your kiddo's spot isn't hijacked by an overzealous pipe cleaner enthusiast. To register, just give a ring at 610-287-9349.

Now let's talk brass tacks. Yes, the workshop is free, but if you've got a couple of bucks lying around, a suggested donation of $2 per crafty kid isn't going to break the bank and helps keep these events going. Think of it as an investment in the next generation of DIYers.

For the uninitiated, Pennypacker Mills is more than just an arts and crafts haven. Nestled at 5 Haldeman Road in Schwenksville, this colonial revival mansion gives visitors a blast from the past with free guided tours, seasonal events, and a dollop of education programs, for good measure. Operated by Montgomery County’s Division of Parks, Trails & Historic Sites, this historic gem is open all year, and is just waiting to drop some knowledge on anyone willing to learn.
